Very useful if you're at an intermediate level with a language and you want to learn new vocabulary, but not especially useful if you are at the beginning and still learning how the language works. Learning new words in isolation like this is not terribly helpful if you're still new to understanding how sentences are constructed. Would be a lot more useful if it could translate an entire sentence.
Also, you can't complete the progress tasks because there's no info on the site about any sort of Premium plan (the link just goes to your account settings) and the FAQ and Contact Us links go to broken pages.
Great concept and has potential but current state makes it of limited value until you're further along in your learning.
